Extract

The Clyde Sea Area is in many ways an ideal ground for the investigation of the nutrient salts in the bottom deposits. The different lochs present a range of depth of water of from 0 to 200 metres: some parts have strong tidal currents up to five knots, while others are practically unaffected by the tide: some lochs have also been affected by the dumping of sewage and harbour sludge, and the effect of these can be examined. Conditions may also be compared in muds ranging from the loch heads to the almost open sea conditions at Ailsa Craig.
